Parent Guide > From Pit to Pond
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "From Pit to Pond" by Wendy Hobday Haugh.
In the memoir "From Pit to Pond," Wendy Hobday Haugh describes turning a pit in her backyard into a pond.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Beauty & Happiness and Human vs. Nature as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"Who's in control: humanity or nature?" and "How do we define beauty?"
